In this episode of Parents Who Think, Danusia Malina-Derben joins Ken Mossman for a layered and moving conversation about modern masculinity, emotional maturity, and what it means to be an integrated man. Ken brings wit and wisdom to topics most men were never taught to face: how to play, how to feel, and how to take responsibility without shame or performance.

They explore why so many men exile parts of themselves, like their inner child or rebellious adolescent, and what’s possible when those voices are finally welcomed home. Ken also shares what it looks like to meet children where they are, and how one moment with his four-year-old son changed everything he thought he knew about parenting.

This is not your typical fatherhood talk. It’s about presence, power, and the radical responsibility of being a fully formed human, on purpose.
